Dual microcatheter and guidewire snare technique for retrieval of intravascular foreign body: technical note.

A transjugular snare technique was used to retrieve a stretched, residual mechanical detachable coil which extended from the cavernous sinus to the femoral vein, obliterating the transpetrosal route for further embolisation. The coil was snared by a microguidewire. Our new technique is described in this paper.
